Lots of fun when going down hill (Actually heading north on map) with fast turns and a couple of good jumps.

Bullwhip is open as of 3/21/2021. Some parts are really muddy. But with good skills, you can plow thru. Also, its two-way traffic. So pls be careful. Look ahead; puck your line. I am using a Trek Marlin 7 2021 29er running Bontrager XR3.
